Sure, you can use other classes, but we highly recommend using our set. This order of squad is the best for every dungeon. Here you have the healer, the buffer, the controller and the damage dealer. He also can reduce the level of stress and have a powerful bleeding attack. The Jester can apply the group buffs on Speed, Accuracy and Critical Chance.

Fourth slot – in the tail of formation.

The Vestal also has a stun, can replenish torches and heal all characters with one skill! This is your healer which can save other heroes from death in case of triggering the Death’s Door effect. Skills of this class decrease a chance of bad surprises in the dark. Equip the Bounty Hunter with trinkets which increase stun chance and he will stun even bosses! Also, the Bounty Hunter is essential when you are moving without torches. It’s the best control class which has 200%-stun. The Hellion has powerful hits and 200%-stun which affects first and second enemy slots. The first class can heal other members of a squad, deal high damage, attacks fourth enemy slot and replenish torches. Here you can choose between two classes: the Crusader and the Hellion.

First slot – in the head of the formation.

It’s important to place your characters in defined slots: Using of this order can help you finish the game without any problems. We defined the best party order for every dungeon. You can take 4 heroes in each dungeon run. Try also to increase debuff resistance as it saves from many negative effects. Pay attention to stuns, bleeding and blighting. You probably want to improve the most common resistance. This resistance unites all other negative effects, for example, horror. It’s quite easy-understanding resistance. This resistance allows heroes to remains on their positions after enemy trying to move them. A hero also gets huge debuffs to ACC, DMG, SPD and receives more stress until healed. When a certain character receives a fatal damage he remains alive. There are several diseases that remain even after leaving a dungeon. This debuff is similar to Bleed but hurts twice as strong. Many enemies can stun you, so improve this resistance at first. Review all the types of negative effects and related to them resistance: You can improve each resistance up to 100%, but there are enemies which can pierce even 100% resistance. Each type can save your heroes from certain damage or negative effect. Sure, you should pay attention to DMG and MAX HP too. We suggest increasing PROT, SPD and ACC MOD at first. Consequently, your characters with high Speed can control or kill enemies before they even start to move. The higher SPD is, the earlier hero will move. It determines the order of moving in the combat.

Maybe, it’s better to call this stat Initiative. Like CRIT a weapon also defines this stat. Damage determines how strong your characters are and how fast they can kill foes.

With 10 Prediction Points all incoming damage is strongly reduced. You can get more PROT from Crusader’s trinkets and perks. Prediction allows heroes to reduce incoming damage. You know that critical hit deals significantly more damage. It’s just the chance of getting a critical hit when attacking. This stat isn’t primary, but you also can level it up with armor. ACC and DODGE are opposite stats, it means that hero’s DODGE subtracts from opponent’s ACC. This stat defines the hero’s chance of dodging an attack. Don’t forget about this stat, because some skills have a very little ACC MOD at leveling up. Accuracy – ACC – itself defines the chance of hitting a target. This stat determines how much damage a particular hero can survive. MAX HP – Maximum Hit Points or simply Health.To finish the game successfully you must balance all effects, and this task is quite complicated. Heroes are also affected by different quirks or diseases. The thing is that trinkets apply both positive and negative effects. Each stat can be painted gray (means that stat has no effects), yellow (stat is improved) or red (stat is worsened). You should improve it to develop your characters. There are 7 base stats in Darkest Dungeon. This strategy most likely will take more time, but it will also save your heroes alive. That’s why we’ve prepared this strategy guide to help you finish the game successfully. In the game, you will face hundreds of enemies, but stress will become your main foe. Darkest Dungeon is pretty challenging rogue-like RPG which you will fight the darkness with a group of playable characters.
